Utes have a bunch of freshmen and they only have so many games to gel and maximize growth and potential. They have to play their style of ball. Why waste an entire half of a basketball game just because the other team sucks? Play your game. It’s their job to stop you.
Their opponents are division one college scholarship basketball players. Do we need to worry about their feelings?
Like the OP said, it’s not like they were leaving in their starters. They were playing everybody on the team and they were just playing their style of basketball. I don’t see anything wrong with that.
